Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 
Assertion (A): Shortening of myofilaments leads to the shortening of the muscle.
Reason (R): Only the actin myofilaments shorten while the length of the myosin myofilaments remains the same during the muscle shortening.

1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
